The following is the action of a majority of the Board, Mr. Gleason dissenting: on containers which are loaded or unloaded away from the pier by non-ILA labor, the amounts set forth below shall be paid into a fund as provided by Paragraph 10 of said Memorandum of Settlement: a. On conventional ships, thirty-five (35) cents per gross ton. b. On partially-automated ships (conventional ships converted for handling vans and containers), where not more than two hatches have been converted for the handling of containers, seventy (70) cents per gross ton. c. On partially-automated ships (conventional ships converted for handling vans and containers), where not more than forty (40) percent of the ship’s bale cube has been fitted for containers, seventy (70) cents per gross ton. d. On ships where more than two hatches have been converted or fitted for the handling of containers, or where more than 50 forty (40) percent of the ship’s bale cube has been fitted for containers, one dollar ($1.00) per gross ton. 2. The following is the action of a majority of the Board, Mr. McCarthy dissenting: The payments set forth in Paragraph 1 above shall be retroactive to July 1, 1960. 3. The following is the unanimous action of the Board. The payments set forth in Paragraph 1 shall continue for the duration of the current collective bargaining agreement between the parties. However, on or after October 1, 1961, the parties shall have the right to seek adjustments on the rates of payment upon the ground, in the case of the International Longshoremen’s Association, that there has occurred a substantial increase in the impact of containers upon employment opportunities, or, in the case of the New York Shipping Association, upon the ground that there has been no or a substantially decreased impact of containers upon employment opportunities. In the event that the parties shall fail to agree upon a revision, if any, in the rates of payments, the matter shall be treated like a grievance arising under their collective bargaining agreement.
